GEORGE W. MOOR OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

HAIR DRIER.

Application filed October 20, 1924. Serial No. 744,593.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Moons, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HairDriers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hair driers, and has for itsobject the provision of an improved device of this character for use bybarbers and the like and by means of which the hair of a customer may bequickly and expeditiously dried.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and in which, i

Fig. 1 is a side view of a hair drier embodying the invention,

Fig. 2 is a rear View of the same,

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. i is a section taken on line 47-41: of Fig. 3.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawingscomprises a tubular supporting pedestal 5 having a sup porting head 6pivotally mounted at the top thereof to swing on a vertical axis. The

supporting head 6 carries a clamping head I 7 co-operating with anotherclamping head 8 depending from a motor casing 9, said clamping headsbeing adjustably secured together by means of a clamping bolt 1 andwhereby the motor casing may be ad usted on a horizontal axis asindicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Attached to one side of the motor casing 9 is a fan casing 11 having theusual tangential discharge 12 and projecting horizontally from the topof the fan casing. An ordinary centrifugal fan is arranged in the easing11 and attached to the motor shaft for projecting a blast of air throughthe discharge 12 in the usual way. A flexible discharge tube 13 isdetachably connected with the fan discharge 12 as shown and saiddischarge is preferably provided with the usual electric heater forheating the discharged air not shown.

By this arrangement it will be observed that the device may be readilyadjusted to discharge the blast of air from the fan in practically anydesired direction. By tilting the fan casing forwardly and bending thdischarge tube upwardly as indicated in the lower portion of Fig. 1 anupward blast of air may be directed around the sides and rear of thehead. By tilting the fan casing rearwardly and bending the dischargetube downwardly as indicated by the dotted lines in the upper portion ofFig. 1 a downward blast of air may be directed against the to of thehead. Likewise by swinging the fan casing from side to side on thevertical axis of the pedestal and correspondingly flexing the dischargetube 13 the air blast may be directed against either side of the head.In this manner the hair may be quickly and expeditiously dried byvarious applications of the air blast.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modification without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precisedetails of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as come within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

A hair drier comprising a tubular pedestal; a supporting head pivotallymounted on the top of said pedestal to swing on a vertical axis; a fanand its casing adj ustably mounted on said supporting head to swing on ahorizontal axis, said fan casing being provided at its top with atangential discharge; and a flexible discharge tube connected with saidfan discharge, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

GEORGE W. MOORE.
